Your map is the focus of the prophets for certain
.... not sure that Saudi Arabia is the "woman" though .... might be a bigger one
At any rate the Lord will call His true ecclesia [bride] out of this "woman" [Revelation 3:10; 18:4]
.... just before the beginning of the tribulation [Revelation 8:6-12; 14:8]

“Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, [SUP]2 [/SUP]with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast...
Another translation for wilderness is desert. MECCA is the only religious city located in a desert. MECCA is the religious center of ISLAM. References to Mecca in the Quran (6:92, 42:5) call it Umm al-Qura, meaning "MOTHER of all settlements."
Islam is the Mother of all false religions. MECCA is considered the location where Ishmael dwelled and of course later Muhammad. It is also one of the areas where the Jews wandered in the "desert" or wilderness after they escaped Egypt and crossed the dead sea. It was here, in Saudi Arabia, where the Israelites made the golden calf to worship while Moses was on Mt. Sinai.
The Bride, per se, is not called out of Mecca. However, God's people are ordered out of her so that they will not share in her plagues to come.
“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues..."
This is not a reference to the entire body of Christ being located here. It is a merely a warning to those believers who are there to leave. You see, history repeats and there is nothing new under the sun.
Isaiah 13:20
It will never be inhabited, Nor will it be settled from generation to generation; Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there, Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
Isaiah 21:13
[ Proclamation Against Arabia ] The burden against Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, O you traveling companies of Dedanites.
Jeremiah 25:24
all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed multitude who dwell in the desert;
